              <p class="bodytext">Years ago in what now seems to be in another life, Steve Gold, Yoga Master and owner of Philly Power Yoga, worked behind a desk as a successful sales and marketing executive. Although success and wealth<br />
                 came quickly for Gold, the career path proved to be unfulfilling. Gold quickly changed paths after his <img src="images/stevegold.jpg" width="300" height="464" align="right" hspace="10" or="or" vspace="10" />realization that the most important wealth is health and spent the next 17 years studying and practicing spiritual principles and lifestyle, including eight years with yoga guru Baron Baptiste. </p>
              <p class="bodytext">Gold is certified to teach &ldquo;Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga&rdquo; and continuously studies his craft for advances techniques to share with his students and instructors. Philly Power Yoga has been teaching Gold&rsquo;s signature yoga for 10 years, and has recently opened the doors to a new expanded full-service facility with a variety of yoga and Pilates classes, as well as massage and acupuncture services. </p>
              <p class="bodytext">Philly Power Yoga is not leisure yoga. It is tough, you will sweat. It was developed to identify and correct the pressures the Western world puts on the body. The practice isn&rsquo;t a fad, it&rsquo;s a proven lifestyle with the goal of making spiritual fitness an individual&rsquo;s primary goal. </p>
              <p class="bodytext">Gold takes pride in his instructor&rsquo;s primary goal of connecting to students by sharing personal experiences in addition to poses, which allow students to reach spiritual fitness by reconnecting with their authentic self. He trains instructors who are honest, real, and accessible. He teaches that beginning with unhealthy baggage and habits are ok, simply be still in the moment no matter how painful and begin to reconnect with the real you. </p>
              <p class="bodytext">Gold doesn&rsquo;t limit his yoga teachings to his studio. His new non-profit, Project 4 Peace, takes his Power Yoga back to his roots in the inner city to teach youth yoga principles that strengthen confidence and self-worth. Gold acknowledges that his own self-value only comes from being in service for others.</p>
              <p><span class="bodytext">When not in studio, Gold is spending time outdoors with his wife and two kids. </span><br />
